The studies pertaining to associations of serological and biochemical genetic markers (blood groups in particular and scrum proteins and enzymes in general) with the psychiatric disorders such as psychoses in general, Schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis including unipolar and bipolar affective disorders and neuroses have been critically examined. The reasons for inconsistent findings of various investigators have been pointed out to assist the future researchers to overcome the previous drawbacks. Implications of associations of genetic markers with the psychiatric disorders have been discussed and future areas of research suggested.
本研究主要针对血清学和生物化学遗传标记（尤其是血型和血清蛋白及酶）与精神疾病（如一般精神病、精神分裂症、包括单相和双相情感障碍的躁狂抑郁症以及神经症）之间的关联进行了批判性研究。文中指出了导致不同研究者的发现结果不一致的原因，以便帮助未来的研究人员克服以前的缺陷。本文还讨论了遗传标记与精神疾病之间的关联的意义，并提出了未来的研究领域。
